REYNARD NO MATCH FOR CAT
Strang* Encounter In Farmyard That
Had Ita Inception In the Mater,
nal Instinct.
' Edward Pursey, Bailys Court
farm, Stoke Gifford,, near Bristol,
which is situated in the Badminton
district, relates an extraordinary en-
counter which he witnessed last
week between a cat and a fox, says
an English newspaper. Mr. Pursey
was awakened early in the morning
by a most unusual commotion
among his chickens. Suspecting a
visit from Reynard, he speedily lift-
ed the window, and on looking out
witnessed a sight which astonished
him. Tearing through the potatoes
and among the cabbages was a fox,
which was snapping and snarling at
the farmhouse cat, which was on the
fox’s back, and with a firm grip with
her forefeet just in front of the fox’s
shoulders was making the fur fly
from the fox’s back by means of her
hind feet. Round the garden rushed
Reynard, playing havoc with the
garden produce; but it failed to un-
seat pussy, who maintained her posi-
tion with all the skill of a profes-
sional jockey until the fox made a
bolt through the kidney bean sticks
—a blow from one of these gave the
fox its liberty. The cat had a Jitter
of kittens in the corner near the
chicken run, and it was the maternal
instinct that made her go for the
fox.

AUTOMOBILE ARTILLERY.
Efforts are being made by the
powers toward the adaptation of the
automobile to the transportation of
field artillery. It has been pointed
out that the idea of a self-moving
gun carriage for field guns was sug-
gested as early as the year 1769 by
the engineer, Cugnot. At present
efforts are principally directed to the
perfection of a form of automobile
suitable to take the place of horses
in drawing the artillery wagons,
many different forms of ironclad au-
tomobiles, carrying light guns, have
already been invented and tested,
with more or less’ success, but,
it is ssid, the main problem is
to adapt the automobile to the trans-
portation of guns mounted, as at
present, on their own carriages.
SPEAKING OP 8CALE8.
, Mr. Bacon—I see by the paper
that, the San Jose scale, it is esti-
mated, has cost the fruit growers of
the United States $200,000,000.
Mrs. Bacon—Why don’t they put
the weights and measures inspector
after the men who use such scales?
